What’s the difference between a convertible-1 and a junior-1?
This just caused some misunderstanding on craigslist, so let’s go over it.
Technically, a “bedroom” has to have a window in order to get called a “bedroom.”
So a “convertible one” or a “flex one” (someone asked about this term although I’ve never heard it) is a studio with a windowed alcove, so if you did want to put up a wall, you could have a one-bedroom.
A “junior 1,” on the other hand, is an apartment with a separate place for the bed that’s more developed than an alcove — it might be a fancy sleeping loft platform, or an extended walk-in closet, or a separate interior room — but it’s windowless, so you can’t call it a one-bedroom.
In my mind, a Junior 1 — we have one coming up in Chelsea — attracts couples, who may need to have two separate rooms with a door to slam in between them.
